Slope initially began as a blog, so this is where most of the website’s content resides. Here we have tens of thousands of posts dating back over a decade. These are listed in reverse chronological order. Click on any category icon below to see posts tagged with that particular subject, or click on a word in the category cloud on the right side of the screen for more specific choices.
The pace of SlopeCharts improvements is really picking up! The latest one is: Measurements! To take a price and time measurement in SlopeCharts, just right-click anywhere in the chart and choose Measurements from the menu which appears:
I have another cool new feature in SlopeCharts to announce: Attached Studies. What on Earth is that? Well, let me tell you! What we’ve done here – – and I don’t know if I’ve seen this elsewhere, so let me know if I’m wrong – – is created a way for you to associate any study set with a specific symbol.
As you probably know, normally when you have technical studies “active”, they apply to every single symbol you examine. That’s the way it is on any website or any charting program. You choose the studies, and then you start going through your symbols, all of which will be enhanced by the studies.
There are some instances, though, when you don’t want that. perhaps there is one particular set of studies which you always want to see just for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and nothing else. Using this new feature, you can “attach” that specific study set specifically to the $INDU (or whatever the symbol might be) so that it reliably appears for that symbol and no other. In other words, you won’t have the nuisance (or have to remember) to apply that specific study when you look at that particular symbol.
(more…)I just wanted to announce a couple of formerly free pages went behind the paywall. Specifically, the Correlations Page is now for Silver, Gold, and Diamond members, and SlopeAlerts is for Gold and Diamond. Of course, the easy solution is to sign up for a membership. Regardless, here’s a favorite tune from the lovely Aimee Mann.
If you’ve been looking at financial news even a little bit, you know what a big deal the small retail traders have become lately. The epicenter of this has been the Robinhood brokerage.
Well, I am pleased to let you know that, starting today, the top 100 Robinhood holdings are now going to be available in a dynamically-updated watch list in SlopeCharts:
All you need to do to access this is to click on the Watch Lists title in SlopeCharts and choose the menu item “Preloaded Watchlists” where you will find this new entry:
The SlopeAlerts product has another feature, which is that in addition to getting an email-based alert, you can now alternately receive an alert to your phone via SMS. This is an important improvement, since it is probably easier to get your attention with a text than with an email in your inbox. Set up some alerts this weekend and be ready for the week ahead!
